In Japan, small village is prevalent in such regions as in the Chugoku mountainous district or Kitakami upland, while large nucleated village is the usual settlement type in the most part. These small villages correspond to hamlets or Weiler.This study confines to following four aspects:1) settlement pattern of hamlets2) their population-scale and their spatial distribution3) spatial relations between hamlets and Oaza, i.e. small unincorporated units4) rôles of hamlets in the social structure.The area drawn for this study corresponds to the territory which belongedunder administration of Kitayamato-mura(_??__??__??_)in Nara prefecture until thereformation of local government. It lies to the fringe of Osaka metropolitanarea. The rural population here economically base on agriculture, but the population employed in non-agricultural activities have been gradually increasing in number. This is an intricate hill tract. In this paper, the author suggests five general conclusions.1) The greater part of hamlets in this area comprise roughly from 20 to 30 families, that is, from 100 to 150 in population.2) Hamlets cluster along the streams and roads. Being distributed intensively, they appear at the distance from 0.2 to 0.5 kilometers.3) One farmer's paddy fields locate not only nearby his hamlet, but also are dispersed around both adjoining hamlets.4) An Oaza consists of from 5 or 6 hamlets. In general it has one shrine and forms one religious group.5) Each hamlet frequently constitutes a social group and fills function of its living base and religious activities. But in some cases, two or three hamlets take the shape of one irrigation association or one religious community.
